If that is your question, then delete everything else in your post, other than the fact that your mother passed. Generally estimated taxes are withheld and then when the final tax return is filled there is a refund or taxes due. We don’t know if she under-withheld, overwithheld, or properly withheld. You would need to see her 1040. You also mentioned a will, which is why I suggested looking at the 1041 as well.

But wasn't the tax already paid if the salary check I got was from the W2 form?

Tax may or may not have been withheld, but that doesn’t change how much was OWED.
